I'm rather suprised the Fit didn't beat the Highway Mileage numbers for the Civic too, bummer since the Fit weighs substantially less - guess the Civic's aerodynamics must be in there (it has a really low roofline).

But the Fit does beat the Civic for City mileage (here the lower weight comes into play I think).

As to the comment on the Center display for the Toyota Yaris, it is a redone version of the Echo (the 4 door sedan of the Yaris is coming & I personally can't stand the look), which is where it gets the Center console from (just like the Prius, which was based off a modified Echo platform as well - and has the center console).

I personally like the look of both the Fit and the Hatchback Yaris, too bad the Canadians are the only ones to get the 4 door hatch Yaris. Its good to see our two main Japanese manufacturers get back in the small car segment though.
